Mouvement d'Unité Populaire (Movement of Popular Unity), a political party in Tunisia. MUP was formed as a leftist split from the ruling party in 1973. At that time MUP emerged as the major opposition force in the country. MUP later split into two factions. One of them turned more moderate and became the Parti de l'Unité Populaire, which gained official recognition.

MUP has a consultative membership in the Socialist International.
